PROBLEM SPECIFICATION Geometry - A long plate of thickness t and depth D. The length is not defined because the plate is considered to be of infinite length. A circular hole of diameter d has its centre at the centre of the plate. Loading - Uniformly distributed tensile load (w = 150 N/mm) Material Properties - Young’s modulus (E = 80 kN/mm2) and Poisson’s ratio ( = 0.3) Geometric Properties - Plate thickness (t = 4mm); Depth of plate (D = 75mm) and Diameter of hole (d = 42.5 mm) Ele...
